No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 435 The wise man does not fall in love

Regarding the marriage between the Luo family and the Su family, the dignitaries in Shangyong have a lot to say.

But when they really came to the Lord, they couldn't say anything, and many people could only secretly start to worry.The greatest luck now is that Grand Tutor Su has retired, and the next generation of the Su family has obviously not grown up.

Although Grand Tutor Su's reputation is still very high, he can no longer play much role in controlling the situation in the court.If it was put a few years ago, I am afraid that they would desperately want to stop this marriage.

"General Luo is happy to have a beautiful daughter-in-law, congratulations." Liao Wei said to Luo Yun with a smile on his face in the lobby of the Luo family.

Luo Yun was also full of smiles today. Obviously, the fact that the eldest son got married made him feel very happy. Seeing Liao Wei, a civil servant who sometimes obstructs his son-in-law in the court and is not very kind to his daughter, he is also very kind, "Thank you Liao Wei My lord, please sit down."

Liao Wei bowed to Xie Yan again, and then sat down.

After sitting down, Liao Wei glanced at the entire lobby, and the status of being able to sit in it would not be low.

Sitting first on the left and right are the Kings of Ancheng and Kangcheng, followed by Duke Cheng and Duke Lu, then senior officials such as Liubu Shangshu and generals such as Yu Mingqiu.

Among them, Wei Changting, who had just taken office, was not among them, but Wei Changting always did what he wanted, and no one cared where he went.

Regarding the matter of Wei Changting's promotion, Liao Wei was still hesitant. Wei Changting's experience at this age has become the Minister of the Household Department. thing.

Isn't it because the household department is an important position in the six departments, and the regent wants to let his cronies occupy it first?

Even Liao Wei doubted whether the old man who had just resigned from office was voluntary or was so eager to become an official.

However, he didn't want to tear himself apart with Xie Yan, Ruan Ting has been empty without the position of prime minister.The regent obviously didn't want a prime minister to hold him back, but it was impossible for this position to remain vacant forever.

Liao Wei naturally had ideas in his heart.

"Master Liao?" Liao Wei was in a daze, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear, bringing him back to reality.

Liao Wei raised his head and saw that all the people present were looking at him, as if they were puzzled why he was distracted at this moment.

Liao Wei sighed in his heart, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, smiled at Cheng Guogong beside him: "I'm very sorry, what did the old Duke just say?"

Cheng Guogong has white beard and hair, but he is in good spirits.

He looked at Liao Wei, didn't care about his faux pas and didn't point out that it wasn't what he was talking about just now, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Regent said that he intends to make Mr. Luo the governor of Huaining, what does Lord Liao think?"

"What?" Liao Wei was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Luo Yun and Xie Yan who were sitting on the main seat, his mind turned quickly but his face was amicable, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Luo just got married, The prince wants him to go to the southern border, I am afraid that General Luo and Elder Su will not agree?"

Luo Yun smiled and said, "They are still young, and it is the time when they should serve the country and endure hardships. What can they do if they stay in Shangyong, a place full of flowers and flowers all day long. My father is still here, and the two young ones , 30 years later, it will be too late to come back and enjoy the blessings.”

"..." We suspect who you are connoting.

Governor Huaining is a good position, after all, he is one of the thirteen governors of Dasheng.

But now that the situation in southern Xinjiang is unclear, this position is unavoidably unpopular.And even in the past, each governor of Huaining was in office for a much shorter period of time than other governors. Therefore, although Xie Yan promoted Luo Jinyan in this way, it made people feel that the regent was nepotism, but it did not make too many people feel uncomfortable.

Liao Wei frowned and said: "My lord, Mr. Luo has made great military achievements and is known for his resourcefulness, but his age..."

Although it's only been a few months, the regent's style of employing people has undoubtedly been reflected.

The few people he promoted to high positions, Yu Mingqiu, Wei Changting, and now Luo Jinyan, are all young people in their prime, and the oldest Yu Mingqiu is only in his early thirties.

This style of employing people will inevitably make many people feel uncomfortable.

Official positions are numerous, especially high-level official positions.Young people have occupied high positions, so what about those who have worked hard for decades and have not been promoted?
Sure enough, several people immediately spoke up to persuade them.

It is said that Mr. Luo is in a high position at a young age, it is inevitable that he will take credit for himself and develop an arrogant temperament.Now that he is only 25, he is already a big official of the frontier. With the ability and status of Mr. Luo, he will probably be unsealable in ten years.The local situation is complicated, Mr. Luo is too young to be able to balance and so on.

Xie Yan didn't care, and asked calmly: "The news from the Marquis of Lingchuan from southern Xinjiang is that it is not very stable now. The current governor of Huaining has been unwell in recent years and has been requesting to be transferred back to the capital. The state garrison may respond in time?"

There was a moment of silence in the lobby, and someone said, "Even if something happens in Southern Border, it may not necessarily affect the two prefectures of Huaining, right?"

Xie Yan glanced at the speaker, and said with a sneer, "From what you're saying, Southern Border doesn't seem to be the land of Dasheng? Why did you combine Huaizhou and Ningzhou to set up the Governor of Huaining?" Do you remember?"

Everyone was silent, they naturally remembered.

Huaining Ningzhou is the place where Dasheng has the most troops stationed except the northwest border. In order to prevent the turmoil in southern Xinjiang, the imperial court can send troops from Huaining Ningzhou in time.

As a matter of fact, Governor Huaining would usually be given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he would shoulder the important task of guarding southern Xinjiang, so most of them were generals.

If anything goes wrong in southern Xinjiang, Governor Huaining will hardly be able to absolve himself of the blame.

Lu Guogong, who was sitting across from him, coughed lightly and said, "This old man should not comment on government affairs, but...the matter in southern Xinjiang really needs to send a famous general to make people feel at ease. It's a pity that this old man can't go far Fine, otherwise I am willing to guard the south for my Dasheng."

Everyone is busy saying that the official of the country is serious.

Luo Yun smiled and said: "The old man has fought for the country all his life, and it is time to enjoy his old age. If we still have to work for you, the old man, wouldn't we be ashamed. I sincerely say that the age is a little younger, and you adults don't worry. It's also a matter of course. How about... How about letting this general personally sit in southern Xinjiang?"

Everyone was shocked, "How did this happen? If the general goes to Huaizhou, the people of Southern Xinjiang may think that we are going to use troops against Southern Xinjiang."

Luo Yun, a great god, went to southern Xinjiang to garrison troops. If those people in southern Xinjiang really had different intentions, they would probably do so now if they didn't want to.

It's not that they don't want to clean up southern Xinjiang, but that Dasheng really can't afford to fight now.

It is fine to send people to guard the southern border to prevent accidents, but it is not necessary to initiate a war on your own initiative.

Liao Wei sighed in his heart, and said: "Mr. Luo has made great military achievements. I have also seen the achievements of assisting the general in command of the Dingguo army in these years. Since the prince and the general are willing, the matter of southern border Thank you Mr. Luo for your hard work."

As soon as he said this, several people cast disapproving glances at him.

Liao Wei lowered his eyes and said nothing: The Luo family and the Su family have finalized their marriage so quickly, Xie Yan has clearly made a decision already.Now the sudden proposal caught them by surprise. The most important thing is that they really couldn't find someone more suitable to take over this position.

Xie Yan has paid close attention to the southern border since years ago, and the Marquis of Lingchuan went there without passing the year. Xie Yan, the governor of Huaining, is obviously in his grasp.Even if they win the fight and send their own people there, I'm afraid they won't get any benefits.

This is the disadvantage of not having the support of military power, but civilian officials and generals have never dealt with it.

Military generals who are willing to befriend civil officials are as different as civil officials who are willing to befriend military generals.

Even if he married his second and third daughters into the general family, he didn't see that his in-laws were willing to confront Xie Yan and Luo Yun on these matters for them.

Liao Wei would give in so easily, the most important thing was that he always felt that Xie Yan was staring at him and plotting something recently.

There is also the person from the Cao family, who moved out of the Liao family to the Feng family two days ago. Although Cao Mao said on the surface that it is not good to celebrate the Feng family's birthday and stay in the Liao family, Liao Wei knew that the other party should find out that he sent him to the Feng family. people followed.

Combined with Cao Mao's actions after entering Beijing, it is obvious that he has other plans, and it also proves that Xie Yan's question that day may not be a random question.

Although the Cao family was targeted by Xie Yan for some reason, if something really happened... it would probably be much more fatal to him than the position of Governor Huaining.

He doesn't want to anger Xie Yan now.

Xie Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since Master Liao agrees with this king, then it's settled."

"..." Who the hell agrees with you?

The good wedding banquet in the lobby was made like a court meeting, but other places outside were really festive and lively.

Wei Changting sat on the railing of a small building in the garden, leisurely looking down at most of the Luo family.

In the big garden below, the female relatives who came to congratulate gathered together in twos and threes to play and laugh.Somewhere farther away, the male guests are also in the water pavilion, drinking, having fun, chatting and laughing.

"The six ministers are all sitting in the lobby, why are you in a daze here?"

Wei Changting turned his head and saw Gu Jue coming up from downstairs, looked at him and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Wei Changting curled his lips and said, "What can I say to those old men? After sitting for a long time, I feel like I'm about to be buried up to my neck."

Gu Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the lord know that your thoughts are so strange?" Isn't it His Royal Highness the Regent who gets along with those old men the most every day?
Wei Changting said: "He had no choice but to, and I'm not the regent. Speaking of which, I suspect that the reason why he likes the little concubine is because he feels uncomfortable after staying with those depressed old men for a long time, and everything will be reversed."

"I'll tell the concubine this." Gu Jue nodded, before Wei Changting could react, he changed the subject, "I'm going back to the northwest at the end of the month, do you have any letters for me to take with you?"

Wei Changting was taken aback, "Are you going back to the northwest?"

Gu Jue spread his hands and smiled, "Don't forget that I am a military commander. Shangyong has nothing to do now. What are you going to do if you don't go back to the northwest?"

Wei Changting rubbed his nose and sighed, "That's right, I forgot."

The Zhen Guojun has no more than 5 people in Shangyong, and there is a regent sitting in the town. How can there be a general like Gu Jue staying here?

This is a meaningless waste for Gu Jue, and Gu Jue probably doesn't want to stay in Shangyong all the time.

"I don't have any letters to send, you can bring them something for me." Wei Changting shook his head and said.

Gu Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you still had something to say to Leng Shuang?"

Wei Changting glanced at him coldly, "I didn't know you were such a gossip."

Gu Jue sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't send it off, you and Leng Shuang are not in the same way, you don't want Lingchuan Hou and his wife to travel thousands of miles to see you outside the Great Wall every year in the future, right?"

Wei Changting said angrily, "Gu Jue, has anyone ever told you that you look kind on the outside, but are actually ruthless?"

Gu Jue smiled and said: "I'm just not trapped by love like you are. I just want to find a girl who gets along well, get married, have a family and have a few children. Like you, you love me and I love you. It's too troublesome. While speaking, Gu Jue shook his head again and again, looking at Wei Changting with a look of hatred for iron.

Wei Changting said: "Before that, someone wanted to marry you, why did you run away?"

Gu Jue said: "I definitely want to go back to the Northwest, can I still let the cute girl follow me to the Northwest to drink the wind?"

"How do you know that he won't?" Wei Changting said, "Miss Su family is still willing to go to southern Xinjiang with Luo Jinyan."

Gu Jue chuckled twice and said, "Forget it, I probably don't have the blessings of Mr. Luo, and I can't serve those ladies. It's more suitable to find a girl in the northwest."

Wei Changting said quietly: "Gu Jue, one day you will hit a wall on this matter!"

"We have no grievances, why are you cursing me?" Gu Jue raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "There won't be such a day, there is a saying..."

Wei Changting looked at him calmly, Gu Jue said with a smile: "A wise man does not fall in love."

Wei Changting sneered, jumped off the railing, turned around and went downstairs by himself.

Gu Jue tilted his head and rubbed his chin, hesitantly said: "Did I say something wrong?"

On the other side, the Su family is also very lively today. Su Rui has already put on her makeup and is sitting in the boudoir accompanied by a group of girls waiting to leave the pavilion.

Qin Ning pulled Xu Xinyu to sit next to Su Rui, and asked curiously, "Sister Su, are you nervous?"

Su Rui smiled slightly and said softly, "Why are you nervous?"

Qin Ning said: "It's just... just very nervous."

Liang Shufeng came over and sat down, patted Qin Ning on the shoulder and said, "If you are nervous, be nervous, don't affect A Rui."

Qin Ning said: "I'm not nervous, it's not that I left the cabinet, why am I nervous?"

Liang Shufeng stepped forward to straighten the hairpin on Su Rui's head, and said with a low laugh, "Don't pay attention to her, the former Princess Changling said that she wanted to quickly find a husband's family for her, she was afraid."

Everyone knows that Princess Changling is anxious to arrange a marriage for her daughter, probably because of the Empress Dowager.

Qin Ning snorted lightly and said, "I'm not afraid. No matter who dares to bully me, I'll beat him up!"

Song Jue sat on the side and heard this, couldn't help turning his head and laughing: "The engagement is for getting married and living in the future, not for you to fight in martial arts."

Qin Ning said: "That's because you can't fight! Ah Rui, I will teach you martial arts in a while, so that the eldest son of the Luo family will not bully you."

Su Rui covered her lips and smiled, "I probably don't have this talent anymore."

Qin Ning shook her head, looking at her with an unteachable expression on her face.

Xu Xinyu whispered: "Sister Ah Ning, my aunt said that if you hit someone again, she will punish you."

The expression on Qin Ning's face froze, and she immediately said seriously: "When did I hit someone? Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little worried about A Rui."

"Master Luo is my aunt's elder brother, he is a good man." Xu Xinyu said.

Qin Ning pinched her cousin's face and said, "I didn't say he was a bad person! I mean..."

Before she finished speaking, a woman's joyful voice came from outside, "The team to welcome the bride has arrived at the gate!"

The room became lively in an instant, and the girls who were playing independently all stood up one after another and surrounded Su Rui.

It was Su Rui's sister-in-law who walked in, Mrs. Su said with a smile on her face, "Ah Rui, get ready, it's time to go out."

Su Rui didn't mean to be nervous at first, but at this moment, she suddenly became a little nervous.

Today she will leave the place where she was born and grew up, and start a new life in a new place.

What will happen in the future, no one knows.

Song Jue reached out and held her slightly cold hand, and said with a soft smile, "Don't be nervous, we will take you to Su's house together."

Qin Ning and others also nodded, "Yeah, Ari, let's go to Luo's house with you."

They were originally here to serve as brides for Su Rui, otherwise they wouldn't all gather at Su's house, but should have gone directly to Luo's house.

Su Rui looked at her sister-in-law and several girls and sisters who came to her, her nervous mood calmed down a lot, and a beautiful smile appeared on her delicate face.

"Yes." Su Rui replied softly.

The road is her choice, and she believes that she can control her own future.
